Flamborough is an interesting area, and the cottage was nice and spacious and warm, but I'm guessing the structure, decor and furniture are all due for an update. I did report the damp patches and leaky roof windows to the owner, they may have been due to the very high winds and heavy rain of Storm Amy.
